Support: non-European (likely Persian) laid paper with 9 laid lines per cm. (vertical, curved slightly and only somewhat indistinct) and irregular chain lines only faintly visible, thin and crisp, quite well-sized and burnished ; some tears, staining, etc. Decoration: Red rubrics ; pages are bordered in blue and gold lines (contribution by D. Mancini-Lander). Script: Text written in black nastaʻlīq script (contribution by D. Mancini-Lander). Layout: Written in 17 lines per page with written area divided to two columns ; frame-ruled. Collation: IV-2 (6), 14 IV(118), II (122) ; catchwords present ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals (supplied during digitization). Explicit: "زبانرا گوشمال خامشی ده که هست از هر چه گوئی خامشی به" Incipit: "نه بینم پخته زین بزم و خامی که بر کف باشد ش زان با ده جامی ..." Title supplied by cataloguer. Ms. codex.. Yūsuf va Zulaykhā is the fifth of seven masnavīs (long poem in rhymed couplets) that make up Jāmī's Haft Awrang (Seven Thrones), composed in 888/1483. This manuscript is missing the first folio of the dibācheh. The first complete section begins: "be-nām-i ānkeh nām-esh..."(contribution by D. Mancini-Lander).
